Swaging Tools are used as an economical method for joining copper tubing by eliminating the need for a coupling. Once the swage has been made, the tubes can be easily sweated together with solder. General’s 4-Piece Swaging Set gives you four of the most popular sizes, ranging from 1/4” to 5/8”. The hex-shaped body prevents the tool from rolling and limits the potential for binding in the tube. Made from heat-treated alloy steel for maximum durability.
• Four popular sizes – 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”
• For use on copper tubing
• Eliminates the need for a coupling
• Made from heat-treated alloy steel
• Comes in a convenient vinyl pouch
Instructions:
Making a Swage:
1. Place the tube in a flaring bar with 5/8” to 1” exposed and camp into a vise
2. Insert the swaging tool of appropriate diameter into the tube.
3. Keeping the tool straight upright, strike the end of the tool with a ball-peen hammer
4. Turn the swaging tool a quarter turn after each strike to prevent binding.
5. Continue striking and turning tool until swage is formed.
NOTE: Only use a ball-peen hammer to strike the swaging tool.
